Comment:
if you feel yourself a bit dejected then the recent issue’s minimal
nature might be suitable for you as a remedy. Not only this aspect is
substantial with regard to the roughness of the outing. You could
imagine a post apocalyptic vision, for instance, the moments after
the mighty outburst of a super volcano wherein the lava is getting to
harden slowly and all will be clearing and brightening around the
immense epicentre. Undoubtedly it could be a wonderful glimpse.
Indeed, there are up some hopes about the situation to be getting
improved. The buildup of the issue supports all the aforementioned
words because of being adeptly expressive. The first tracks of the
debut album
Ритуал (
Ritual) by the
Ukraine-based combo
Вежа Хмар (Vezha Khmar/Veja
Mar) draw solely on raw drones of low frequency as if it had been
recorded with the assistance of a grimy cartridge. Later on, however,
the situation is imbued with brighter sounds, for example, with vowel
hovering and vibrato-laden droning. Furthermore, the more the issue
is coming to its finishing point the more you can perceive exalting
emptiness (or is it broadness?) oozing out from everywhere. I does
not foretell us a new beginning at that point but the new beginning
has already existed out the re for a while. Musically it is a drone
album with vague hints at ambient/illbient and succumbed psychedelic
music yet there somewhere around you could discern the ghosts of
post-rock, post-folk and doom coming closer and then fading away at a
time. In a word, the result is striking and impressionistic in its
sublime roughness. This great issue was initally released on Mariupol-based imprint Bloodhead Production.
